Same.. Sometimes it gets sooo tight and hard but then it goes away.. Normal for 3rd trimester I guess. But if it's too frequent, and longer, do refer your Dr.

Sounds like braxton hicks contractions! If you're in 3rd trimester it's normal as long as its not too intense and goes away after a while

It's either baby movements/position changing or contraction. I feels the same too. Currently 37weeks.

Mummy do check if its contraction. One of the contraction symptoms is bump getting hard.

It’s usually hard when the baby is doing stretching of its limbs inside the tummy.

I think is normal.. I felt hard at night or after dinner, soft in day time

Yes, it's tightening due to contractions. I got it from week 32 onward.

I think its normal..

It's normal.
